EPS 222/226 LSA 115+3 lift .597/605 numbers?
First of all I was sold on going with a 224 cam from a vendor on here for a killer price...this is for my daily driver here in CA.
After research and talking to others I somehow found myself looking at options through Geoff at EPS. I've read about their lobe technology, granted I didn't understand everything as I was reading.
Geoff is an awesome guy that is very thorough...He is not the cheapest but he broke everything down for me and educated me on a few things. I took about an 1hour and a half on the phone with him over a couple of days. I felt good about the decision after talking to him.
The main reason I was going with the 224 / 114 LSA cam initially because it seemed like a good overall cam, and it probably is. I just wanted to maximize the power/efficiency with my close to stock car. I feel good with my decision though.
I have an 02 WS6 with the only power performance mods being a lid and a GMMG catback. It is a 6speed car.
How much power do you think I will make???
Anyone else have a similar cam and what were your thoughts/impressions after?
Once the install/dyno tune is complete I will post the vid/graphs up.

with what heads? EPS cams seem to respond well to stock or mildly ported 243 casting heads. If I were you, I would bump to Geoff's next biggest cam, the 226/234 113+2LSA... it's probably his most popular cam and seems to make great power. I would estimate your 222/226 with stock heads may make 390-400rwhp. Whereas the 226/234 + 243 heads seems to be making around 420rwhp. Hope this helps!
Wow I never saw that coming.390rwhp with stock heads and manifolds????I would be sooooo happy if I could hit that mark with this cam. Hecc if I could get 370 rwhp with stock heads and manifolds I will be happy.
I know a lot of it depends on the tune as well. I most likely will take it to Mark Romans who is well known in GM High Tech as one of the top tuners in northern california.

Remember some of the EPS cams are designed for stock manifolds.
Good luck with your build as well.

Thanks for all the input/advice by all.
Now that I am so deep in this $$$ wise. I am considering just throwing in some 243's as well.
I have searched the parts classified section on tech, I have looked at SDPC's website.
Who sells 243 heads ported and unported for the best value outside of random deals popping up in the classifieds????

I will post results up for sure as soon as everything is done. I am hoping by the end of August.
